Hello Forum members,

I have 2 questions: (1) Is it mandatory to have your funds or proof of funds when first landing in Canada after immigrant visas have been issued.I have a family of four.

(2) I'm expecting my passport request soon.Is it ok to buy the Canada post express envelope now,just like Dr kbknaidu?

Please I need urgent answers.

1. Yes, you need proof of funds.

2. I also bought one, but did not use it. Mainly because i did not get it yet when i sent my passport to CPP-O and then i regret it buying it. I don't think is useful if you live in USA. In the e-mail they say clearly to send a xpresspost "National" envelope if you live in Canada, otherwise they will returm the passport via regular mail. So, my advice to you is don't waste your money, but if you do waste your money all they can do is not use it to return your passport. Your choice.

How long does it takes via regular mail?
 
Dear All,

While paying the RPRF, where it says "number of applications", can we enter "2" (me and my spouse) and pay the whole fee once or do we need to pay for each one of us seperately?

whatever it takes for the mail from CPP-O to wherever you live in the US. I would guess 4-6 business days.

I guess you can do so. That was what I did

In that case that's not so bad. I was thinking also to buy one but now
I think that's ok( assuming I will get one day PPR).

Yes, I did also put 2 and paid at the same time.
Good luck

The instructions clearly say that if you are paying for yourself and your spouse enter "2". I made a single payment ($980.00) for myself and spouse based on these instructions. However, when sending that form as an attachment (if necessary), you only fill the information for the principle applicant).

Anyone who has the same officer as me.... Please any information I would be deeply thankful

Officer AA5582

I have the same officer. I just got my medical RPRF and proof of funds. Anything back from this officer?

Also, I have asked to provide three months history of my bank. I have asked my dad to send me 5000 CAD (to reach that 11K CAD) and the lawyer want to provide affidavits for me and my father. But she says she can not guarantee if this would work...

Has anyone had the same experience? How likely do you guys think it would cause a problem? I am so stressed now.....

Anyone with this officer who faced the same issue?????

I would really appreciate your help.

PS: Looks like this officer worked at the very end of december 2013, pretty much everybody on this forum got something from this IO around 27th dec....

Large amount deposited in your account raises red flags. You will need to have notarized letters (both you and the father) where he states that he will not need the money back---->>>> This is the closest explanation you can provide although no guarantee on it too <<<< For further explanation on POF, see link below for what others have said elsewhere. Give me +1 if helpful and satisfied!!

Hi All,

My permanent address is in Canada, but I am currently visiting US for 3 months.

I did my medical in early Nov. and I am hoping to receive my passport request sometime soon. I was wondering if I should update my address to the US or not. If not, can I ask CIC to send my passport to an address other than the one on my file?

Thanks,
A

you will be asked to explain it, you have a 50-50 chance of being believed.

Thanks. How can I give you +1? Sorry I am not familiar with this website.
It is so stressful, I mean, I have been living in Canada since 2010 and am getting paid by University, now do you guys think that this situation may result in refusal of my PR? :(((
